That's incredible... Anyone in the field have insight as to why that is so high comparatively? I've seen some pretty shocking cases of misrepresentation in salary surveys before, so I can't help but wonder..

Also keep in mind that a salary that is $60,000 in Cleveland may be the same as a $100,000 salary in New York city. (Same $800 apartment in Cleveland could cost $3,000 per month in New York City)
In other words, you can have identical life styles with two different salaries comparing two different states.
Noting the cost to live in your city is vital when comparing two different salaries from two different states.

The links above give the median average across the USA which can be misleading.
